"Let's go." Su Chenghui didn't seem to notice the anger on her face. "Mayor Li is going to speak later."
Li Qianxue forced herself to squeeze out a smile and looked at the umbrella over her head. "You also know that you have to go on stage?"
Su Chenghui closed the umbrella and handed it to his assistant. "Of course. After all, I'm going up, aren't I?"
Li Qianxue glanced at him coldly and took the opportunity to go up to the stage. Su Chenghui held her hand from behind and said softly, "The road is not easy to walk on. Let me help you."
"No need." Li Qianxue withdrew her hand without a trace. "Don't touch me. I will walk properly."
"Qianxue …" Su Chenghui felt a little helpless. But Li Qianxue was already walking very fast.
It was not the first time she had attended a groundbreaking ceremony. Over the years, the Li Corporation had done many projects, big and small. She really didn't need him.
The two of them stepped onto the simple wooden platform one after the other. A red carpet was laid out on the stage.
Li Junsheng and Wang Tao stood in the middle. After the two of them went on stage, they stood on either side of Li Junsheng. Everything else was going according to procedure.
First, Li Junsheng spoke on behalf of the city leaders, then Chief Zhou spoke, and finally, it was Li Qianxue's turn.
She had the script that Yang Rong had typed for her a few days ago, but her memory had always been good. Such a scene was nothing to her.
The sun was a little bright, and she was wearing a rose red suit. It was not ostentatious, but it looked grand, which was in line with the festive atmosphere of today's opening.
She first thanked the city leaders for their support for the Li Corporation's work and the group. Then, she thanked the Tianyu Group for its role in this matter. There were also the results of the cooperation between the two companies.
Finally, he talked about the concept and philosophy of City Star, a fully intelligent community.
Her speech took no more than five minutes. There were countless cameras aimed at her. She was already used to this kind of situation.
After a round of speeches, it was time to cut the ribbon. Su Chenghui, who had been standing on the other side of Li Junsheng just now, walked to her side.
The hostess carried a golden plate and a pair of scissors tied with red silk to them onto the stage. Su Chenghui stood next to her and turned his face to look at her.
This scene was really very familiar. The two of them stood together, cutting the ribbon and laying the foundation for a project. God knows how many times this had happened.
Li Qianxue ignored the overly passionate gazes of the people around her and focused all her attention on what was in front of her.
From now on, Su Chenghui was just a stranger.
She thought about Su Qingsang's words for a long time. She didn't want to be with Su Chenghui for the rest of her life.
So what if she tortured him every day? If she tortured him, wouldn't she become like him?
She didn't want to.
There was no need for her to throw away her bottom line for a man who didn't deserve it.
Night.
Today was Grandpa Dong's birthday banquet. Li Qianxue went as the representative of the Li family. Banquets like this in the past. Just let Su Yuxin participate.
She had come personally to give Grandpa Dong some face.
This morning, the Li Corporation's groundbreaking ceremony was broadcast on TV. Not only on TV, but the Li Corporation also advertised on the Internet and various major print media.
When she entered the door, many people congratulated her.
Li Qianxue chatted with those people, but after all, this was not her home ground. After chatting for a while, she chose a place near the corner and sat down.
At this time, a message popped up on her phone. She, Su Qingsang, and Su Yuxin had a WeChat chat group.
From time to time, Su Qingsang would send some photos and videos of the twins. Li Qianxue's biggest hobby after work was to look at the photos Su Qingsang sent.
The twins had been more than three months old. Xiang Nian could already turn over.
Nian Nian was a little slower and didn't have enough strength. He lay on the bed and turned with all his might, but he could only turn his body sideways. He needed help to turn over completely.
The photo was of the two of them lying there. After a while, a video was sent over.
Huo Jinyao supported Xiang Nian's small body and tried his best to turn him over. The little guy was babbling in a language that the adults couldn't understand. He looked very funny and adorable.
"So cute."
The voice that suddenly sounded was very familiar. Li Qianxue quickly put down her phone and looked up at the person.
She shouldn't be surprised. She could come. Su Chenghui could naturally come too.
She was about to stand up and leave, but when she thought of the things she had suddenly figured out in the morning, she sat there very calmly.
Su Chenghui looked at her in surprise. Today, Li Qianxue didn't seem to want to reject him, nor did she have the disgust that she couldn't hide when she saw him.
Her expression could even be considered peaceful. Su Chenghui's surprise only lasted for a few seconds. He quickly thought of the reason for her expression.
He glanced at her and sat down on the sofa next to her. His expression was a little cautious.
"Xiang Nian and Nian Nian are very cute, aren't they?" Su Chenghui had gone to Rong City to see the two children before. As they grew up, they became more and more adorable.
Li Qianxue glanced at him and her lips moved, but she didn't say a word.
"The last time I went to Rong City, the two little guys smiled at me."
Li Qianxue closed her eyes. She didn't plan to speak, but when she heard this, she glanced at Su Chenghui.
"Su Chenghui."
Her sudden words stunned Su Chenghui. Li Qianxue curled her lips, and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes. "Did you go to Rong City to see Su Peizhen?"
Su Chenghui choked and looked at Li Qianxue.
Their eyes met. Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue's eyes and half-lowered his eyes. "I did."
"How has she been recently?" Li Qianxue leaned forward a little and stared at Su Chenghui's face. "No, or should I ask in another way. Does she still hate me?"
After all, she was the one who made a statement to break off relations with Su Peizhen. With Su Peizhen's personality, it should be difficult for her not to hate her, right?
Su Chenghui was silent for a few seconds. Just when Li Qianxue thought he wouldn't answer, she heard his very soft voice.
"She's fine now. She doesn't hate anyone."
"Really?" Li Qianxue didn't believe it.
"You have to believe that she's actually a good child."
Su Chenghui's words were met with a cold smile from Li Qianxue. He looked up at her with a very serious expression. "Peizhen was taught by you. Even if she took things too hard and went on the wrong path, she was still taught by you. If you deny her, you are denying what you have done. "
Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui deeply because of his words. "Is that so? But I have long denied all my efforts over the years. After all, I spent more than 20 years raising two ungrateful wolves. Isn't it a waste of my efforts? "
Su Chenghui was speechless, but Li Qianxue felt that it was meaningless. She had only thought it through this morning. She wanted to treat Su Chenghui as a stranger. Since she wanted to treat him as a stranger, why should she say these things?
She was about to leave when she heard Su Chenghui's extremely low voice. "No, it's not."
He was looking at her now, his eyes burning. "Your efforts were not in vain. Peizhen asked me to tell you that she's sorry. "
"She said that she knows that you don't need and don't want to hear it. However, she does owe you an apology. "
Silence. Li Qianxue sat there without moving. The banquet hall was very lively outside, but in Li Qianxue's area, it was dead silent.
She sat there expressionlessly, just staring at Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui didn't avoid her gaze. His voice was very soft. "Peizhen has indeed changed now. She has also reduced her sentence because of her meritorious service. If you see her, you will know. "
Li Qianxue's lips were tightly pursed, and the back of her hands was a little white.
She had raised Su Peizhen for more than 20 years. She had carefully educated and nurtured her since she was a child. If in this marriage, Su Chenghui was the person who hurt her the most.
Su Peizhen was the second. It wasn't that she didn't give her a way out, nor was it that she didn't give her a choice.
She could have done better, but she chose the one that hurt her heart the most.
She dealt with Su Qingsang. Not to mention that she had already acknowledged Su Qingsang, even if she didn't know Su Qingsang's identity in the past, she wouldn't have agreed with her.
She taught Su Peizhen to have a big picture and foresight. In the end, she used her mind on those unorthodox ways.
Su Peizhen paid the price, but for her, she also lost a daughter. Even if this daughter wasn't born to her.
"What does it have to do with me?" Li Qianxue's expression was very cold. "She is no longer my daughter. I don't want to see her either. "
She had clearly said that she would treat Su Chenghui as a stranger. However, a few casual words from him made her recall those unpleasant things again.
Even if she was the one who started this, it still made her uncomfortable. Li Qianxue couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up abruptly, turned around, and walked outside.
Su Chenghui stood up with her and followed behind her.
Li Qianxue greeted Old Master Dong and said that she had something urgent to attend to, so she left first. With Li Qianxue's status, Old Master Dong was very happy that she could come. He was extremely polite and asked her to go about her own business. He also asked his son to send Li Qianxue on her way.
Li Qianxue refused. Old Master Dong saw Su Chenghui behind her and revealed a smile that explained why.
Li Qianxue didn't see that smile. If she did, she would probably be even more gloomy.
The night wind was cool. There wasn't a single star in the sky. The sun was shining brightly during the day, but now it was covered with dark clouds. It looked like there would be rain at night.
The humidity in the air not only didn't make Li Qianxue feel depressed, but it also increased a lot.
Especially when she knew that Su Chenghui was following behind her, her footsteps became faster and faster.
She looked at the parking lot at the other end of the hotel. Xiao Zhao had parked the car there. She could call him and ask him to drive over, but she would rather walk by herself to calm down.
When she was about to cross the road, a car in front of her drove quite fast.
"Qianxue?"
Su Chenghui, who was behind her, quickly stepped forward and pulled her body back.
The impact caused Li Qianxue's body to crash into Su Chenghui's arms. He held her and took two big steps back before he stabilized his body.
"Be careful."
Li Qianxue was thinking about something just now, so she really didn't notice. Now that she reacted, she reached out to push Su Chenghui.
"Su Chenghui, stay away from me."
If he hadn't followed behind her, she wouldn't have thought of walking faster.
"Qianxue …"
"Stop." Li Qianxue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "What do you want to say?"
"Do you want me to forgive Su Peizhen? Or do you want me to forgive you? "
"Qianxue, I didn't mean that."
"I don't care what you mean."
Li Qianxue thought of her previous plan. She had always avoided talking about it in the past, thinking that it would be fine as long as she stayed away from Su Chenghui. Now, she wanted to make things clear with him.
"Su Chenghui, I just want to tell you. Everything you're doing now is useless to me. It's useless. "
"First, I hate you. I hate you very much. The best I can do is not to take revenge on you. But I can't not hate you. I don't want to forgive you either. I don't want to forgive Su Peizhen. Second. Whether it's Qingsang or Yuxin, they've all grown up. They don't need your fatherly love anymore. I don't need your compensation, and neither do the two children, so why do you have to say anything about compensation? "
"Finally, if you really feel guilty, if you really feel that you've let me down, and Su Peizhen feels that she's let me down. Then what you can do is to stay away from us, and further away. Understand? "
Su Chenghui saw that she was about to turn around and leave. He stepped forward and grabbed her arm. He was very flustered, suddenly very flustered. He understood that Li Qianxue suddenly wanted to draw a line with him.
"Qianxue, you know that's impossible. Yuxin and Qingsang are both my children. How can I stay away? "
"You still have Su Peizhen, but I only have Qingsang and Yuxin." Li Qianxue refused. "I don't want to stop you from accepting the two children, but from what you said just now, you've clearly made a choice. You made the same choice as you did twenty years ago. If that's the case, what else do I have to say to you? "
"I didn't." Su Chenghui held her shoulder. "You can't accuse me like this. I didn't think that way, and I didn't choose that way. "
"No? Then why did you tell me just now that Peizhen is a good child? If she's a good child, then what about my two children? "
"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to tell you that Peizhen has really changed. Besides, you've raised her for so long. You should know her character. "
"Yes, I've raised her for so long, but I can't see through her when I'm in the middle. Just like how I thought you were an honest person before, but what about your character? So what? "
"Qianxue. It's not fair to me for you to treat me like this. I was just impulsive back then, and I regretted it afterward. "
For the first time, Su Chenghui dissected his heart in front of her. "I was a little angry at that time, but after that, I regretted it. I really regretted it. "
It wasn't just because he regretted divorcing Li Qianxue. For the past twenty years, whenever he thought about it, there wasn't a time when he didn't regret it.
At first, it was impulsive, but later, it was unclear. When he wanted to say it, he couldn't say it anymore.
He couldn't explain these things to Li Qianxue. He also couldn't tell her that he had long given up on revenge.
